Trinitism is a tritheistic religion which arose in Caligus when a missionary of Ecclesial Sanguiastroism, Herion von Ulthuan had a vision of a triad of gods while travelling from Dwilight to the East Continent with the aim of spreading the faith to his home continent. Herion had originally been a priest of Sanguis Astroism however following the upheaval which resulted following Justiciar Alister Kabrinki's assumption of absolute power he converted to Ecclesial Sanguiastroism. Upon constructing a temple in Flying Hongrns in direct conflict with the Laws of Swordfell, a realm devout to Sanguis Astroism, facing persecution for his beliefs, he sought to take them elsewhere.

Prophecy

On Prophet Herion's journey to Caligus there was a horrible storm and while leading his fellow passengers in prayer to the blood stars the ship shifted sharply and he lost his footing, hit his head and blacked out. While unconscious he had a dream: He was in his newly constructed temple in Flying Hongrns, afraid that at any moment the doors would crash in and the inquisition would be upon him. However when they finally did a bright white light burst through, and his body felt for an instant as if on fire and then bliss. When he opened his eyes, three beautiful figures were before him. One bathed in red, a young man of amazing physique stood tall and proud, another in blue was an old man with a beard gazing at him keenly as if looking in his very soul, a third, roguish woman lounged lazily on a pew.

All three voices spoke at once, one strong and masculine, another, more like a father or mentor, kind and wise, and a third female, terrifying in its beauty. Their mouths did not move, but to his shock he found the voices came from his mouth. They told him that he was to be their messenger and harbinger, that he would lead a flock in the path of righteousness, that the Bloodstars were signs to announce the god's coming, and that the faithful of Dwilight were mistaken in their message.

The voices were respectfully wrathful, disappointed and amused at the last. They then spoke their names in their own voices Ánradh, Treoraí and Caissa. With that a rumble accompanied Ánradh turning into a flash of red and disappearing, a pop as Treoraí winked as he went in a flash of blue, while Caissa looked at him for the first time, her green eyes sharp as a razor, with amazing deftness she leapt to her feet and glided towards him, a mischievous smile on her lips, with a grace that would make an elf envious. He whispered in her voice, "Good luck" as she kissed his palm and turned into a flash of green with a hiss and with that he awoke in a bunk.

Looking at his hand a curious symbol of red, blue and green glowed. A crowd of people surrounded him, they had heard him speak in the voices and they said a flash of light came from his hand moments before he awoke.

Comparison with other Religions
